Welcome to your source for Agricultural WebQuests. The Missouri Farm Bureau has long been a leader in the national Agriculture in the Classroom program. Missouri Farm Bureau and Missouri State University have cooperated in their educational efforts for many years.

Agriculture in the Classroom is a grassroots program coordinated by the United States Department of Agriculture. Its goal is to help students gain a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy and society, so that they may become citizens who support wise agricultural policies.

The program is carried out in each state, according to state needs and interests, by individuals representing farm organizations, agribusiness, education and government.

The USDA supports the state organizations by:

helping to develop Agriculture in the Classroom programs
acting as a central clearinghouse for materials and information
encouraging USDA agencies to assist in the state programs, and
coordinating with national organizations to promote the goal of an increased awareness of agriculture among the nation's students.
